Dear Sir, Before your propose to delete or merge any of my respective pages, I would like to add for both Financial Philately and Philatelic equity, the following same additional paragraphs to the page which will justify and explain why I insist these terminologies to be relevant in the context of future investments in philately, which has already began.

As a hobby, stamp collecting is an average school boy’s pastime and still proceeds to be so to some extent; when collecting modern day stamps or common abundant classics. However, serious stamp collecting in the Rare Classic’s (prior to 1870), is another story altogether. Participating in global exhibitions (both National and International) has become an extremely competitive venture and to most average collectors, has become an un-economical suggestion. Serious stamp collecting at the highest level, which is only affordable by a faction of collectors, can acquire the rarest stamps and the best condition classics to attain the desired results of securing a top place in most Global exhibitions. The most serious collectors are willing to acquire unique items to fill their collections at exorbitant prices, which has led to part of the industry, especially dealers & auction houses benefiting from this select demand. This indirectly creates a supply and demand situation at the very top of the Philatelic trade. If you view the recent stamp sale at Sotheby’s New York in 2014, wherein the Famous One Cent British Giana Stamp of 1854 fetched an unprecedented 8-digit figure breaking all levels of affordability for any Philatelist. This has also culminated in paving the way for financial investors to start dabbling into this extremely small, but speculative area of alternate investment. If you review some of the auction results that have taken place over the last few years, many rare iconic first issue classics and modern anomalies have fetched enormous gains. From the 1914 inverted Jenny’s of USA, to the 1847 Post-Office issues of Mauritius etc., these stamps have become Philatelic Equities in the eyes of most modern-day investors. Over the last few years, even Stanley Gibbons the famous and first commercial stamp retail store/ dealer, has now set up its own investment Indexes with GB and Chinese stamps, catering to the small punter on the possible investment returns, as demand for limited rare issues out-grows the supply. As much as the word investment does not sit well with the hobby, the reality is that each day rare unique stamps are out pricing themselves and becoming miniature commodities outside of the traditional stamp trade. It is only a matter of some time when both these terminologies will undoubtedly be coined accordingly, in parallel to the hobby trade.

There will be much information to still be added which will further compliment the above. I will be adding further relevant details in time.

Thanking you


 * You are using phrases of your own coinage to promote a type of investment. Wikipedia isn't a place to publicize or draw attention to new phrases or new concepts, and especially not to criticize, to evaluate, or to make arguments in favor of or against anything. It's an encyclopedia with neutrally and factually written articles about already-established topics that are covered at length in reliable sources. See WP:OR and WP:NEO.

Thanks for your comments but beg to disagree. I have no intention to promote any type of investment. These phrases have been used in the past in the philatelic investment world,  I was keen to highlight them and be more specific in their meanings. VikrammChand (talk) 02:13, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The entirety of the above text that you proposed to add to the articles is an argument by you, and in the second person, no less, persuading readers toward a conclusion, including a prediction about the future. Wikipedia doesn't persuade. This isn't in anyway a criticism of your argument, it's just an explanation that arguments don't belong here at all. Largoplazo (talk) 03:22, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Your comments and view point noted. If I was to rephrase the entire article, would that be acceptable ?203.126.30.178 (talk) 04:04, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * It would depend largely on what you reworded it to say. But, even then, you seem to have made the very topics themselves up. Again, WP:NEO and WP:N apply. Largoplazo (talk) 10:04, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
